This book was released on 2012-01-05 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There have been numerous computer-based simulation studies carried out on the subject of CO2 geo-sequestration. However, the amount of experimental data available in the literature on this topic, especially with regards to multiphase flow characteristics of fluid-rock systems during such processes, is very limited. This research was carried out with the aim of providing a better understanding of the multiphase fluid flow characteristics of fluid-rock systems during the geo-sequestration process. The ultimate goal of this research was to experimentally evaluate the change in a number of multiphase flow characteristics of the system over time caused by the potential chemical and physical/mechanical processes occurring during deep CO2 disposal. In order to achieve this goal the effects of cyclic/alternating CO2-brine flooding, flow direction, existence of residual hydrocarbon (natural gas) and change in the reservoir stress field on the system’s multiphase flow behaviour were investigated. Until completion of this study there were no experimental data published in the literature addressing the above mentioned issues and the results obtained, and published within this thesis were the first of their kind.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides concise, up-to-date and easy-to-follow information on certain aspects of an ever important research area: multiphase flow in porous media. This flow type is of great significance in many petroleum and environmental engineering problems, such as in secondary and tertiary oil recovery, subsurface remediation and CO2 sequestration. This book contains a collection of selected papers (all refereed) from a number of well-known experts on multiphase flow. The papers describe both recent and state-of-the-art modeling and experimental techniques for study of multiphase flow phenomena in porous media. Specifically, the book analyses three advanced topics: upscaling, pore-scale modeling, and dynamic effects in multiphase flow in porous media. This will be an invaluable reference for the development of new theories and computer-based modeling techniques for solving realistic multiphase flow problems. Part of this book has already been published in a journal. Audience This book will be of interest to academics, researchers and consultants working in the area of flow in porous media.

This book was released on 2017 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Multiphase flow in the context of this Thesis refers to the simultaneous flow of immiscible fluids. It differs significantly from single-phase flow due to the existence of fluid-fluid interfaces, which are subject to capillary forces. Multiphase flow in porous media is important in many natural and industrial processes, including geologic carbon dioxide (CO2) sequestration, enhanced oil recovery, and water infiltration into soil. Despite its importance, much of our current description of multiphase flow in porous media is based on semi-empirical extensions of single-phase flow theories, which miss key physical mechanisms that are unique to multiphase systems. One challenging aspect of solving this problem is visualization-flow typically occurs inside opaque media and hence eludes direct observation. Another challenging aspect of multiphase flow in porous media is that it encompasses a wide spectrum of length scales-while capillary force is active at the pore-scale (on the order of microns), it can have a significant impact at the field-scale (on the order of kilometers). In this Thesis, we employ novel laboratory experiments and mathematical modeling to study multiphase flow in porous media across scales. The field-scale portion of this Thesis focuses on gravity-driven flows in the subsurface, with an emphasis on application to geological CO2 storage. We find that capillary forces can slow and stop the migration of a CO2 plume. The meso-scale portion of this Thesis demonstrates the powerful control of wettability on multiphase flow in porous media, which is manifested in the markedly different invasion protocols that emerge when one fluid displaces another in a patterned microfluidic cell. The pore-scale portion of this Thesis focuses on the impact of wettability on fluid-fluid displacement inside a capillary tube. We show that the contact line movement is strongly affected by wettability, even in regimes where viscous forces dominate capillary forces.

This book was released on 2021 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Improving our understanding about the evolution of multiphase flow in porous media is crucial for many applications such as extraction of hydrocarbons and geothermal energy from subsurface reservoirs, ground-water remediation, CO2 capture and storage, and transport of contaminants in aquifers and soil. Although such applications have implications at very large length scales, e.g., in the orders of kilometers, they strongly depend on the complex physics and dynamics that mainly occur at the pore-scale. Studying multiphase flow at the pore-scale using direct numerical modeling requires developing accurate numerical frameworks that not only honor conservation laws of mass, momentum, and energy, but also can precisely represent and track fluid-fluid interfaces in space and time in the presence of complex embedded solid geometries. In this dissertation, we consider incompressible and immiscible two-phase flows under isothermal conditions and in electrokinetic equilibrium. We solve for the conservation of mass and momentum, and using an immersed boundary approach account for the presence of embedded solid boundaries. We use a two-phase flow modeling approach based on the level-set method to capture the interfacial dynamics of the flow. Using our numerical framework, we first validate recent experimental works on phase separation in the form of pinch-off at the pore-scale, then we extend such experimental observations to a wide range of wettability conditions. For the phase separation in the form of pinch-off, we provide a quantitative study of the emerging length and time scales and their dependence on the wettability conditions, capillary effects, and viscous forces. Afterward, we present a subgrid thin-film model in order to resolve the interfacial dynamics of thin-films on curved solid surfaces in porous media. We couple a Navier-Stokes solver with a topology-preserving level-set method and a sub-grid thin-film model in order to simulate immiscible two-phase pore-scale flows in the presence of thin-films on curved solid surfaces. We validate our proposed subgrid thin-film model for the cases of static and dynamic fluid-fluid interfaces in capillary tubes (both drainage and imbibition) in the presence of curved solid surfaces. We compare the thin-film profile obtained by the subgrid thin-film model versus the profile numerically resolved by refined computational grid cells spanning the subgrid resolution of the thin-film and achieve a great agreement. Subsequently, we consider granular porous media with homogeneous and heterogeneous wettability conditions. We investigate the influence of capillary and viscous forces as well as wettability conditions on the interfacial dynamics, displacement efficiency, phase trapping phenomenon, and interfacial instabilities. For the heterogeneous wettability conditions, we consider granular media with mixed-wet conditions as well as fractional (patterned) wettability conditions. Finally, at the end of this dissertation, we present a physics-constrained super-resolution framework that can super-resolve numerical simulation data in both space and time. We test the robustness of our proposed super-resolution framework for super-resolving simulation data obtained for a turbulent flow case of Rayleigh-Bénard convection problem as well as a case of two-phase flow interfacial dynamics in porous media for a subsurface reservoir.
